Everyday Disciple Podcast

Depending on your upbringing or past church experience, you may be “all about” the Spirit... or you may see the Holy Spirit as the weird uncle of the Trinity; he shows up once in a while to utter some strange words, and you sorta politely wait for him to leave. 🥹 In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about this least-known and most misunderstood member of the Trinity. We’ll show you why you need to get to know the Holy Spirit. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The role the Spirit played throughout scripture. How Jesus was led and empowered throughout his entire ministry. Why most pastors try to assume the role that the Spirit should have in their churches. Natural ways to begin to have a daily relationship with the Holy Spirit. From this episode: “When we began to believe and preach a small gospel that was man-centered and focused on our afterlife in heaven, while we attended church and tried not to sin here on Earth, we lost the one true mission of the church: make disciples of Jesus.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Mission for God and intimacy with God can often become disconnected and seem like competing priorities and passions. But what if you could cultivate a vibrant and authentic spirituality that doesn’t draw you away from your neighbors, but propels you into the lives of others and the needs of your city? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by church planters Jeremy and Monica Chambers as they break down this divide in a way that helps you discover fresh joy in living as a Jesus-follower, and become more fruitful in your everyday mission. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why there seems to be a divide between deep spirituality and mission. Why focusing just on contemplation or just on the mission is incomplete. How to cultivate a vibrant spirituality that doesn’t draw you away from others. A practice where you'll discover new ways in which God is truly amazing!   From this episode: "Don't get caught up thinking, Oh, if I do this practice, then God's going to be more pleased with me, or whatever. No! These practices are about you making yourself available to God to connect with him and to be able to receive His goodness and his love."

Have you found it hard–really hard–to move people in your church toward embracing change? Are you finding it frustrating to motivate folks to reorient their lives around discipleship, serving others, and missional living... versus a consumeristic experience of the church? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll tell you why the way you've learned to motivate people produces polarizing results. And we'll give you ways to initiate lasting change through more gospel-centered motivations. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why the old ways of "carrot and stick" ultimately fail to motivate people. How the “DO=BE” distortion is in full effect in all of this. The difference between the Legalist and the Gospel when motivating others. How what we believe, love and fear changes everything. From this episode: "All of these ways of trying to motivate others to do something new or accept a new way of being and living, all appeal to the same thing: Self. What’s in it for me? In other words, the person you are trying to motivate is internally, subconsciously, asking themselves, with each of these types of 'motivators', what’s in it for me? Will I gain authority or popularity, wealth, will I be seen as 'more'... how will this add to my sense of value and self-worth... in my own eyes, and the perception that others have of me."

Have you ever asked, What can I do to mend the world, my family, or my own life? And if I could, why bother? Does my own small part even matter? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by Charlie Peacock and his wife Andi Ashworth. They discuss a model for expressing love in marriage, friendship, citizenship, and every kind of work—even in the midst of cynicism, fear, exhaustion, and oppression. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why simple things in life can make such a big difference in the long run. Why we are all culture-makers... even if we don't know it.

From this episode: “We really believe that you're never going to win the culture or create a movement based on what you're against or who you're against, but what are you about? Who are you for? And we see in Christ that he's with and for everybody.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Discipleship that mirrors what Jesus did with his disciples, and produces the same hope, maturity and multiplication, is an “all of life” experience. It looks very different than what most Christians have seen or participated in. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll give you Part 2 of our talk on the 10 necessary aspects you’ll want to focus on in creating the right discipleship environment. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The difference between discipleship classes and holistic life-on-life experiences.

Why ‘one-size-fits-all’ discipleship NEVER works! Get started here... From this episode: “Teach those you disciple to expect multiplication to happen. As disciples teach others to obey all of Jesus’ commands, that includes his command to make more disciples. Part of being a disciple of Jesus is making disciples of Jesus.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll give you Part 1 of a two-part talk on the 10 necessary aspects you’ll want to focus on in creating an effective discipleship environment. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why your “discipleship” may not be producing the desired results in your people. Where, when, and how often Jesus interacted with his disciples. 4 of the 10 necessary aspects of a healthy discipleship environment (like Jesus had). Why your discipleship must be Spirit-led and Gospel-saturated! Get started here... From this episode: “Jesus discipleship wasn't merely a Sunday School class to attend… like once you got through the 9 weeks of discipleship training, boom–you’re a disciple! That's how it was for me growing up in the church. I'm thankful for that time a certain man put into my life, it was something like nine 1-hour sessions. And for a very long time that was the extent of my discipleship. That's not what Jesus did.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

You'll never lead anyone further, faster, or deeper into the gospel and discipleship than you’re leading your own family. Never. But people are waiting for a place at your table and a taste of life in the Kingdom of God! Let's go deeper...

Letting go of these expectations requires me to believe, in the moment, that this is not really all about me; it is about Jesus being seen and experienced through us. Our neighbors don’t need an amazing meal; they need us to be Jesus with flesh on. True hospitality is about having an attitude and posture that says to others,  'You are always invited to join us; whatever we're eating, or doing… you are welcome.'"

Discipleship, in many ways, is a re-parenting of people, a re-parenting of their culture. People need to understand and experience life in our perfect Father’s family and life in the Kingdom before they fully understand the love of God. Do others experience that when they hang out with your family? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and his wife, Tina, share exactly how their family (Team K) grew to include many others as they make disciples in community. When living as a family on mission, discipleship can naturally flow out of your normal family rhythms to include and draw more and more people to God's family! In This Episode You’ll Learn: How "Team K" was born as a family on mission and why it's a big deal! The ways that discipleship in community mirrors effective parenting. Why church leaders need to have a family worth imitating as the starting point. A heartwarming story of how others have been included in this Team K family. Get started here… From this episode: "It wasn’t long before this team was something our friends (and their friends) coveted, getting invited to a family dinner night with Team K. We always had lots of food, laughter, and encouragement to spread around, and you knew everyone was happy that you were there. There was always an extra place at the table. These meal times, along with our other Team K adventures, were the beginning of a way of life for us—a way of sharing and extending the blessings and grace that God had poured out onto our family.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.
